A Year In Review...

Hi, everyone!
Have been so busy lately...
been getting ready for...
then being at...
hospital with my daughter who was scheduled for surgery Thursday.
She has a pump that releases medication in her spine that helps with her CP spasticity...
and it needed replacing.
We were hoping for only one incision site this time but due to an unseen complication...
we have two incisions again...
one in her stomach where the pump is placed...
and one in her back at her spine where the medication is released.
She's doing really well...
and we finally made it home late last night...
after finally opening the door to her room and letting the boys just be themselves...
they decided that getting us out of there couldn't come quick enough...
*giggle*
Love-of-my-life and should have been smarter and opened the door earlier...
and we could have been home by lunch!

But we finally got her home and settled and she's doing great!

And where has this year went?
Didn't we just ring in 2011?
So much has happened over the past year...
I can't believe it's almost over and we're about to ring in 2012!

I started blogging in January...
and remember others doing a countdown of their favorite projects last year...
I loved seeing all the creativity in a nutshell...
and wanted to join in this year!
Of course Cathy (Empty Nest Crafter) reminded me to pick my favorites a month ago...
but I had plenty of time right?
That's why I'm just now doing it...
why do today what can be done tomorrow...
it's how I roll!
*giggle*
So I'm joining in...

Thanks you so much for taking the time to post your beautiful projects, especially with all that you have going one! Wow, your plate is so full, and I will offer up a prayer for your daughter :) Hard to choose a favorite for me, but August is AMAZING! Thanks again for linking up at my blog and happy new year to you!

So many beautiful creations here, Renee, thanks for sharing them with us! We don't usually do anything for New Year's Eve (we're homebodies lol!) But I'll probably make something special for us to eat, and drink, to ring in the New Year! I hope that you and your family are blessed beyond measure in this coming year :)

Wow, was I excited to see that I have two of your Top Ten cards displayed in my craftroom! I love all of your cards, but that one with the witch flying behind the window is my all time favorite of yours. Happy New Year!

Love all your cards, and am so glad you were able to pull off a retrospective so quickly. I think my favorite is May. I remember when you posted that card, and we corresponded while you told me how to make it. I ended up doing something similar (but easier), but would still like to make one in 2012. Have a wonderful New Years eating junk food with your family. That sounds pretty fun.

So glad you had time to share! And how wonderful that Hunter is home and doing well. Your cards are fabulous. The first ones reminded me of what a fantastic job you do coloring flowers. I couldn't pick just one favorite but I especially love your Gracie card and your Christmas beauties!

Well of COURSE I love them all, especially a certain one because it is sitting on my hutch and I get to see it every day! But there IS one that positively makes me GASP ALOUD each time that I see it! That Gracie flying by the window with the amazing coloring and the gorgeous curtain ensemble, eeek! I am so glad to hear that you have Hunter home with all of you and that she is doing well!! Happy New Year, sweetest Renee!

I am so glad to hear your daughter is doing well! I kept checking in to see how it went . We are staying put and said no the parties this year. We will have game night with the two oldest grandsons, (9&8) who are staying with us. Love your cards and I remember most of them. I Love May ,August and December, oh I wont choose. Take Care and Have a Happy New Year!

Love your selection of cards. You did an awesome job with the flower ones. Loved the patchwork pumpkin & the September Halloween card.Keeping your daughter in my prayers that everything continues to get better for her.

Such beautiful cards. You have had a great year of blogging and crafting. You always have a kind word for fellow bloggers too. Your blog posts are a delight to read. Thanks for the inspiration. Wishing you a wonderful 2012.

Oh, Renee your year in review was gorgeous but my favourite was the Christmas one - so delicious.I'm so glad Hunter is on the mend and you are back at home. You have earned some crafty you time! I wish you a peaceful and creative 2012.HugsCarol x

Renee, I must say that I am so glad I met you through blogging. I have enjoyed seeing your blog evolve and with that, I think my favorite card is your August card with the WMS witchie. That card knocked it out of the park!!!

I have truly enjoyed our talks and getting to know you more. I am very disappointed that I couldn't come to Memphis next weekend to meet you! Someday we will meet!! You have become a true friend and I love ya!
